I love India but not its distribution network: Apple CEO

^^ I dont think I can convince you about anything now

The reason Apple doesn't work in India is that they are selling their products here that were made for Western countries.

As lywyre said not everyone has a pc or internet connection if he wants to add songs or files to his device.

And people are used to transfering files the easy way(mass storage),not installing itunes,syncing and stuff + shortage of free apps.

Even repairing a apple product is costly as hell.My friend's ipod nano malfunctioned so he took it to the service center,charged him ~700rs and asked him to pay the price of new one for a replacement.

Crapple doesn't love India. Indians know this.
Much better in this aspect is SAMSUNG. Kudos to them.
But Apple does make darn good products. Kudos to them for that.

Apple products are overpriced. For countries like India, they've to devise a different approach to steal the hearts of consumers.

I think this is why iPhone lost to HiPhone in China!!
PRICE matters in places, where $s are not used.

As Steve Jobs said "Design is not HOW IT LOOKS. Design is all about HOW IT WORKS!".

With these words, Android can beat iOS in market share & usability, IMO.

I dont think there is any thing more to discuss here .... unsubscribing from thread

Perfect example of how touchy "Indians" are. Cook is right. Too many middlemen means Apple will have to take a hit on its margins, why should any company like such a scenario? End of discussion. Thread closed.
